Here is what Carillon Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund has to say about Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (NYSE:MLM) in its Q2 2023 investor letter:

“Martin Marietta Materials supplies aggregates, cement, and downstream products such as ready-mixed concrete and asphalt to infrastructure and construction-related end markets. The company was a notable outperformer in the quarter as it experienced a period of extraordinary pricing gains while simultaneously seeing its internal cost inflation moderate from elevated levels. Accelerating levels of infrastructure spending and healthy nonresidential construction activity have provided a meaningful tailwind to the company’s operations. Improving trends in residential construction activity also provided an incremental positive development recently, and we expect this to continue through the remainder of the year.”
